About This Seaport
More than a mile of linear berthing, room for six vessels at once and over 135 acres of yard define Providence (US PVD), New England's second-largest deep-water port. It is a bulk, break-bulk and project-cargo terminal rather than a container gateway: petroleum products, cement, coal, scrap metal, automobiles and heavy lift make up the throughput. Operator Waterson Terminal Services runs the ProvPort campus where the Providence River meets Narragansett Bay and has grown through a joint venture with Seattle-based SSA Marine. Offshore-wind components for projects along the Eastern Seaboard have become a signature line of business. ProvPort is now developing a second terminal at the South Quay in East Providence, a first phase of roughly USD 70 million in which Waterson matches the state's USD 35 million of federal ARPA funding. On-dock rail and immediate interstate highway access move cargo into the New England hinterland, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection handles clearance. Shippers needing scheduled container services should route boxes via Boston or the ports of New York/New Jersey, while Davisville at Quonset Point remains the regional choice for roll-on/roll-off vehicles.
